Lions, Wolverines, and Irish

Great weekend. Michigan beat Wisconsin 27-13. Chad Henne played a great game. It's great to see him playing the way he was expected to play after his freshman season. Mike Hart was amazing. For a rather small running back, he is quite powerful. Mario Manningham was spectacular, and is emerging as the star receiver Michigan needs. Notre Dame beat Michigan State 40-37 in an amazing game that I would love to watch again sometime. Michigan State jumped out to an early lead and looked like they were going to crush Notre Dame. Notre Dame is my 2nd favorite team but I honestly don't see why Brady Quinn is a Heisman Trophy candidate. He isn't that great of a QB. Sure, he makes some great plays, but he also made a ton of boneheaded plays, too.

So now I'm watching one of the worst teams in the NFL - the Greenbay Packers - destroy my Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions never cease to amaze me with the creative ways they find to lose games. I can't believe team President, Matt Millen, is allowed to remain the President of the Lions. The past three years he drafted wide receivers despite having a poor QB and a terrible offensive line. I would love to see someone take over the Lions who understands that good teams are built upon the backs of the offensive and defensive lines. If I could be President of the Lions I would buy the best lines money could buy. If you have amazing lines the rest of the team will play better even if the rest of the team is just average. Case and point: Emmit Smith. Emmit was not a special running back. He was average. But the o-line of the cowboys made him much better than he was. I can only imagine what Barry Sanders could have done had he had the o-line Emmit had.

I want some good music to listen to but don't really hear anything out there that is impressing me. Any suggestions?

Cloudy Day Today

Random thought of the day: I wonder how many times the average person says the word, "trapezoid" in his/her lifetime.

Previous random thought of the day... "Poisonous elephants!"
